Personal
bankruptcy, in most circumstances, can be resolved through Chapter 7 or 13
of the Bankruptcy Code. This and the following page will cover the basics
of these two chapters of the Code In
my initial interview with my clients I am most interested in their gross
income, net income after deductions, and their cost of paying for the
necessities of life such as: Home mortgage or rent payments, cost of
utilities, vehicle costs ( maintenance, insurance, registration, etc)
cost of food, clothing and other necessities of the family unit. If
the cost of living for reasonable and necessary living expenses is equal
to (or nearly equal to) or exceeds the monthly net income, most likely all
debts which are dischargeable through bankruptcy can be administered
through the Chapter 7 provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Depending
on the amount of personal property owned by the client, most cases can be
administered as a “No Asset” Case and all of the dischargeable debt of
the Client will be discharged without giving up the family home,
automobile or other personal belongings. If
there is excess value over what can be exempted, the matter can be
administered as an asset case. Due
to the number if issues that may arise in an asset case, and the potential
complexity of those issues, I will discuss your options regarding such
matters at our initial confidential interview. AND
REMEMBER, ONCE YOU HAVE ENGAGED MY SERVICES, THE CREDITOR CALLS WILL STOP, ITS
THE LAW. For
